To talk about money is to have the name of Floyd Mayweather present at any table for its abysmal ability to produce greenbacks on and down the ring and even after retirement. He revolutionized the industry and only Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez could try to get closer to the multimillion dollar figures that “Money” boasts.
Mayweather, retired from professional fighting, continues billing for everything their business stands for. According to the prestigious Forbes magazine, you entered $ 800 millions of dollars in the past decade (2011-2020) Y became the highest paid athlete at that time, well above $ 770 that Cristiano Ronaldo billed.
Currently Floyd Mayweather’s fortune is valued at approximately $ 300 million, which represents a considerable amount knowing that he no longer has one or two fights a year as he did in his days as a boxer. Can Canelo Álvarez then match that high number of millions?
Forbes valued at 2020 Saúl Álvarez’s assets in $ 100 million, a figure that will rise considerably by 2021 after a start full of victories and greenbacks. He is currently the fourth richest athlete after Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar.

What must Canelo do to match Mayweather’s fortune?
At the rate Canelo is going, in five years he could approach or even exceed the “Money. In this 2021 already entered more than $ 65 million dollars for his fights with Avni Yildirim and Billy Joe Saunders, and he is already moving to settle new lawsuits and win new belts.
After the Mayweather – Canelo fight in 2011, the wealthy streak of the Jalisco boxer spread in his following 15 fighting. All money raised gives you about an average of $ 30 millions of dollars: here you can see his most lucrative fights .
If he manages to fight twice in each of the next five years they would be 10 fights. And if you keep the average of $ 54 million for each one, would add up to exactly $ 300 millions. However, those amounts could go up or down. Although Canelo not only generates by his fights, he has also established companies that will make him more lucrative.
That is, what seemed unattainable now could become a reality: Canelo have a fund for your checkbooks much like Mayweather’s. Of course, the Mexican will have to launch many blows in those years effectively.
